Work on Route 45 to cause delays in Centre County

CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — Roadwork maintenance and repair operations may cause delays for drivers who use Route 45 in Centre County.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing drivers of delays for morning commutes between Monday, May 13 through Friday, May 17. Crews will perform work between Millheim and Centre Hall in Penn and Gregg townships beginning at 7 a.m. each day.

Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours. This project involves “mill and fill” and base repair, and is intended to repair fatigue cracked, potholed, or distorted pavement sections and restore the structural integrity of the pavement.

All distressed material within the area, including the material beneath the asphalt, is removed and replaced with sound material. The new material is then compacted before being overlayed with new asphalt.
